My Grandmother

Some of you may already know that my grandmother Pat Houston passed away yesterday, September 10th. She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, my church as well. After having not attended for about 25 years, she had recently begun attending services again which was very exciting. When I would go home to visit I would see her and my grandfather there in the back row of the congregation. They would be smiling and happy and it was great. This grandma was not the type that baked cookies all day long, but she was fun nonetheless. She was very excited her newest grandbaby Jane and had been making clothes for her since she was born. She'd made crochet blankets, hat and booties, dresses, pajamas, and many other items. Grandma was very skilled with the sewing machine and was excellent at crochet. I always felt very welcome and loved in her presence and we will miss her very much.
We love you Grandma.

Graduation and Grandparents

Scott graduated May 3rd with an M.A. in Communications. We are very proud of him (however, he is still frantically working to finish his Thesis this month!).There are a couple of cute pictures of Jane and Scott with their graduation caps on (I made Jane's by shrinking my old one). My mom came down to spend some time with us and play with Jane around graduation and Scott's parents came for his graduation. We all had a good time and are grateful when anyone comes to visit.
